Feds’ statements about anabolic steroids are based upon information presented in Wikipedia

Federal prosecutors don’t possess sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids, although they pursue those who manufacture, take and/or sell these medicines. They don’t study scientific literature about these medicines. The government utilizes information which is written in Wikipedia. Although feds say about adverse effects of steroids, they don’t know about these conditions sufficiently. Citing statements about steroids written in Wikipedia, they punish consumers/manufacturers/distributors of these medicines, affirming that these drugs represent evil.
Several important questions appear here: Is it fair to base upon statements presented in Wikipedia in such cases? Are these statements true? Aren’t they exposed to manipulations? Aren’t they mixed with personal opinions of contributors?
Maurice Hall, the associate professor of communication and culture at Villanova University, confirms that it is not reasonable to base entirely upon statements written in Wikipedia. He adds that Wikipedia serves an excellent guide for footnotes. But statements presented in Wikipedia may be not true wholly.
For example, when John Isaac Hudelson was sentenced to jail, federal prosecutors based their conclusions related to illegal operations of this person upon affirmations cited from Wikipedia. Federal prosecutors confirmed that Hudelson would be sentenced 47-54 months in jail because he applied and distributed steroids. Stephen Greubel, the defense attorney for Hudelson, affirmed that 47-54 months in prison were too much for his client. He noted that Hudelson sold steroids, products which differed from such drugs, as amphetamine, methamphetamine, codeine, morphine, etc. Stephen Greubel claimed that steroids didn’t cause addiction.
Federal prosecutors noted that John Isaac Hudelson manufactured, applied and distributed steroids to his friends. They confirmed that while steroids didn’t lead to addiction, muscularity could be addictive. Furthermore, they added that steroids could lead to serious side reactions. All affirmations of feds were based upon those written in Wikipedia.
Ultimately, the government sent Isaac John Hudelson to 37-month imprisonment.
